I have seen this comment a few times recently.  To be honest, I don't
think Tandy ever expected the COCO to be anything but a cartridge based
game console like the Atari 2600 (thus the reason they never did a hard
disk for it even though they did for every one of the Z80 based systems).
Given that, I can't see them investing that much effort.
